===AfricanClimate@Home=== The mission of AfricanClimate@Home was to develop more accurate climate models of specific regions in Africa. It was intended to serve as a basis for understanding how the climate will change in the future so that measures designed to alleviate the adverse effects of climate change could be implemented. World Community Grid's tremendous computing power was used to understand and reduce the uncertainty with which climate processes were simulated over Africa. Phase 1 of African Climate@Home launched on September 3, 2007,<ref name="AfricanClimate launch">{{cite web|url=http://www.csag.uct.ac.za/worldcommunitygrid|title=AfricanClimate@Home (IBM World Community Grid) Status Page|publisher=[[University of Cape Town]]|access-date=2009-05-08|archive-date=2009-11-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091106150030/http://www.csag.uct.ac.za/worldcommunitygrid|url-status=live}}</ref> and ended in July 2008.<ref name="AfricanClimate SC">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/projects_showcase/ach/viewAchMain.do|title=AfricanClimate@Home|publisher=World Community Grid|access-date=2009-05-08|archive-date=2009-05-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090503094244/http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/projects_showcase/ach/viewAchMain.do|url-status=live}}</ref>
